I have made it through the entire build process, but when I go to run the ctest from the build/mpas-jedi, the three geometry tests (2:test\_mpasjedi\_geometry, 8:test\_mpasjedi\_geometry\_iterator\_2d\_2pe, 9:test\_mpasjedi\_geometry\_iterator\_3d\_2pe) fail in the same manner: ```auto OOPS Starting 2025-12-15 19:49:06 (UTC+0000) Configuration input file is: testinput/geometry.yaml Full configuration is:YAMLConfiguration[path=testinput/geometry.yaml, root={geometry => {nml_file => ./Data/480km/namelist.atmosphere_2018041500 , streams_file => ./Data/480km/streams.atmosphere , deallocate non-da fields => true , gmsh_save => true , gmsh_filename => ./global480km.msh}}] OOPS_STATS ObjectCountHelper started.

Hi @AKnight, I don’t know the details of jedi container and its status for supports. But from the attached log file, I wonder if there exist `./Data/480km/bg/restart.0000-32765-00_22016.403359596.00.nc ` file. Also, the file name seems to be off. Some of test dataset is stored in Git-LFS. So it would be nice if you can check it is installed (see [GitHub - JCSDA/mpas-bundle: CMake build configuration for JEDI-MPAS application](https://github.com/JCSDA/mpas-bundle?tab=readme-ov-file#git-configuration) ). If not, after installing git lfs, please delete the existing code/build and start from scratch. Thank you, BJ
